SPARK FAILURE
The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark. There should
be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the electric spark fails, the pilot may be lit manually by
proceeding with the ignition sequence as previously described, and after turning the control knob through the
spark position, the knob should be held in and the pilot lit with a taper.
SETTING PRESSURE
The test point is located either on the main injector pipe or
on the front of the gas valve (marked
‘out’
) accessible by
removing the control plate. Attach a U gauge and light the fire
on the high setting.
The setting pressure should be in accordance with the figures
stated on page 2 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to
achieve these pressures, and any significant variation could
indicate a supply problem.
If the pressure is too high, the gas supply meter may be set
incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire running and if
necessary reset by the gas supplier.
If the pressure is too low, then check the meter governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is incorrect
it will need to be reset by the gas supplier.
If the setting pressure is too low, but the meter pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply pipework is
to be suspected. This will be dirt and debris, kinked or inadequate size pipes, restriction in a fitting or solder
flashing across a joint.
FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason
then several things may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot
disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. The gas pressure reaching the fire
must also be checked (again, recall your installer to check and rectify any problem). The thermocouple
connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, simply get the
installer to tighten.
If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF,
check the flue and carry out any remedial work required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT
allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a spillage test.
The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure continued function
of the ODS.
The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any spare
parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer.
If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting section as a guide.
